I was actually going to cancel my order today. And then Bam! Zavvi charged me.

It certainly isn't the Best Buy edition. But it's okay I guess. And its Star Wars! So I guess ill stick with it.

 

[paulboland]

Should be shipping soon either later Today or Tomorrow

 

[A9X SJ]

[Headhunter]

I understand that, I just wondered if people who English isn't their first language, would want a steelbook with no title or the original title in English.

I think that differs by target audience. I would assume that collectors might prefer the original title on a steelbook (even if it is not English) for authenticity (and to find a steelbook in their massive collection). That's probably all the people on this forum.

More casual buyers are more likely to not want an English language label on their blu-ray - my parents for example wouldn't know which Star Wars movie it is given an English title that they don't understand. They only know the movie in their own language (it is also dubbed). So if they went into a shop to buy a disk and thought about getting a "nicer looking box" for the shelf, they would be confused by an English language label. They would definitely prefer their own language, and probably no label over an English one they can't relate to and can't pronounce.

I think this is a bit besides the point though, since the customers should not be to blame here. I am pretty sure this steelbook will sell quite well (in terms of steelbook sales levels), so Disney should put in the effort to produce localised versions at least for larger countries.

I see this is now also bundled with a Zbox - is this Zavvi's idea of trying to polish a turd?

When it was first put up for preorder it could be bought bundled with a Zbox. That's how I ordered mine.

Looking forward to seeing in-hand pics as finding it hard to come to terms with the reported major differences between this one and all other European / Asian editions when compared to the far superior U.S. / Canada edition.
Mucho confused from Greater London !

My Zavvi one is on it's way and so is one from BB so I'll put up side by side pics when I have them both.
If someone else doesn't beat me to it that is
